URL Submission Back to Article Submit any new pages or pages with recent edits to the major search engines as soon as you publish them online. It is quicker than waiting for the search engines to discover them themselves. By adopting this policy, you can shave weeks off of the search indexing process. Keep in mind that you want to be in the first 30 search results for any of your important keywords, as most people will not go beyond the third page to find a website about a specific topic before refining their search. Be pro-active and monitor your search result placements monthly. If your placement for any of your important keyword drops below the top 30 then it is paramount that you adjust the content on those pages of your site to attempt to rectify the situation and increase your result rank. Once you have adjusted your pages, re-submit them to all of the major search engines. Be patient, it can sometimes take weeks for your pages to be re-indexed. Over 90% of all searches to you site will be from Google or Yahoo!
